Part of: TV Viewer's Diary

WARNING: The free form ramblings continue, be prepared for run-ons, incomplete thoughts, and atrocious punctuations. This is what happens to a mind on TV, it's not pretty, but kind of fun.

Best show I watched this week: Over There
Worst show I watched this week: Drawn Together


Sunday 10/23.

  • Crossing Jordan (NBC 10pm). This has the return of the reporter, who debuted last week. Together they investigate what appears to be a murder suicide. But of course, nothing is ever as it seem, and the facts slowly reveal themselves. Mediocre. **.5
  • Desperate Housewives (ABC 9pm). Wallace Shawn guest stars as the Susan's financially strapped, love-lorn agent. Bree has another burial ceremony for Rex. Not a bad episode, but not terribly memorable either. **.5
  • Grey's Anatomy (ABC 10pm). Meredith wants to be the only woman in Derek's life, a decision that he's not ready to make. Again, not bad, but not too memorable.

Monday 10/24.

  • WWE: Monday Night Raw (USA 9pm). The show opens with a triple threat match between HBK, Kane, and Big Show. HBK won after landing th Sweet Chin Music. Triple H comes down for a match, but that is interrupted by a fight with Flair. JBL shows up and calls out Chris Masters, which allows Mysterio to hit the ring and take out Edge. Mickie James came out to have a decent match with Victoria. Vince comes out and launches into this segment about JR's surgery. Too long, stupid and insulting. Gregory Helms comes out to watch Rosey get taken down in what was supposed to be a tag match. The main event was Cena vs Angle. It was OK, Foley was the guest referee, but both Carlito and Bischoff got involved to screw Cena. **.5
  • Surface (NBC 8pm). Are government thugs trying to take out Laura and Rich? They already got Cirko. The noose is tightening around this duo as they try to get the proof of the new species. **.5
  • Las Vegas (NBC 9pm). Sam's brother is dating the new owner, until she gets bored. Danny finds his late father's girlfriend. Of course, she turns out to be more than meets the eye, as does Danny's new girlfriend. ***
  • Prison Break (Fox 9pm). Finally returning after an absence for the Baseball post season. The search for Bob's killer is on. Michael plots the next move and runs into a bit of a snag. T Bag is insisting on joining the escape team. Meanwhile, those looking to save Lincoln are under attach by the VP. ***.5
